PhD students in Mathematics
KTH Royal Institute of Technology

At the division of Mathematics, there are lively research groups
in a number of areas, for example Algebra and Geometry,
Combinatorics, Complex Analysis, Dynamical Systems,
Harmonic Analysis, Mathematical Physics, Number Theory,
Numerical Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, and
Spectral Theory.
More information can be found at https://www.math.kth.se.
At the moment, there are about 20 graduate students at the division.
The PhD student positions primarily involve graduate level studies
with the goal of a doctoral degree. Also some departmental
duties are included, mainly teaching basic level courses.

also be
considered; inquiries may be directed to the head of the Ph.D. program, Tilman Bauer.

Employment

The employment is for a maximum of five years. Up to 20% departmental
duties are included in the employment.

Qualifications

A university degree with an emphasis on mathematics (240 credit points)
is a necessary qualification, with a master's thesis (or equivalent)
preferably in the subject of mathematics. In addition to traditional academic merits,
a degree project or master's thesis relevant for
the specialization, international experience, and language skills are
regarded as merits.Applicants must be strongly motivated for doctoral
studies, possess the ability to work independently and perform critical
analysis, and possess good levels of cooperative and communicative abilities.
